Area Info
McGregor, named after one of the oldest Scottish clans, lies in a valley surrounded by rolling hills, providing several walking and hiking opportunities, as well as historical walks around the village itself.
The mystically imbued town of McGregor lies just 10 minutes from the town of Robertson on Route 62, less than two hours' drive from Cape Town.
The mild climate makes McGregor a wonderful place to visit in winter, and it is only in summer that it can prove a little hot.
McGregor lies right in the heart of the Breede River Wine Valley and wine tasting is almost obligatory when in this part of the world. There are several annual festivals, including the Robertson Slow Food and Wine Festival at the end of October, and the museum is worth a visit.
